Myasthenia gravis is one of the many autoimmune
diseases due to a dysfunctional immune system. The hallmark of myasthenia
gravis is muscle weakness. To cope with the disease symptoms in the limbs and
the eyes, learn to relax. Nowadays, the human mind is often too
preoccupied with thoughts and worries about career, money, children,
relationships, health, and social responsibilities that it is almost impossible
to slow down. A compulsive mind is the underlying cause of many human diseases,
including myasthenia gravis. Understandably, it is not easy to quiet a
compulsive mind. It is even more difficult to overcome stress, which is a
complex problem involving the body's response to increased mental tension,
which is a byproduct of modern living. Knowing how to relax is the only
solution to this complex body-mind problem that may inhibit the nature cure of myasthenia gravis disease symptoms.
Relax with
mindfulness
Mindfulness is a way of being—it has been around for
millennia. Mindfulness is deliberate presence of mind in a non-judgmental way,
often focusing on something apparently insignificant, such as our breathing.
Mindfulness is letting go of doing, at least for now, and learning how to be in
the present moment.
As an illustration, you have been diagnosed with
myasthenia gravis, and you feel distressed and distraught. Instead of taking
drastic actions to cope with the disease symptoms, you let yourself to be
doing less, but noticing more, with the ultimate objective of probe
into your mind to release wisdom on how to deal with your myasthenia gravis. Mind empowering is important to recovery and
recuperation from any disease. Read my book: As If Everything Is A Miracle to
find out how to use the body, the mind, and the spirit to live as if everything
is a miracle in your life.
Mindfulness begins with breathing. Be mindful of your
breathing is the first step towards learning how to be mindful of everything
around you. Notice how you breathe in and breathe out. We all breathe, but not
many of us are mindful of our breaths, that is, how we breathe.
Relax by way of Zen
Learn how to relax by way of Zen by taking a holistic,
practical, and honest approach to relaxation, which involves the body, the
mind, and the spirit. Relaxation is not about taking a holiday, going fishing,
watching a movie, or reading a book. According to Zen, relaxation is an
integral part of life, without which there is no ultimate stress relief.
Learn how to deal with life's natural flow, and how to go
along with it; that is, going around life's problems, instead of confronting
them head on. It is all about spontaneity of living. Spontaneity is
embracing all life problems; in any life situation, you can be either a student
or a teacher, and make the most out of it.
Remember, according to Zen, life is simple, and never
a problem. If life is a problem, it is because YOU have created the
problem for yourself. If there is no problem, then why do you need a
solution? Fixing a non-existing problem in life is only creating more
problems for yourself.
Learn how to relax by acquiring the wisdom of neither
avoiding problems in life, nor seeking solutions to problems that may not even
have existed in the first place.
Learn the healing art of Zen meditation. Free yourself
from the thoughts and emotions that are holding you back in your life.
Dramatically improve the quality of your life by enhancing the quality of your
mind.
Relax with natural
sleep
Sleep relaxes and rejuvenates both the body and the mind.
Natural sleep is a natural human instinct for relaxation of muscles. According
to Chinese medicine, natural sleep is holistic health and wellness. .
In a most recent CNN
news report, sleep deprivation affects the size of your brain. In the article, Dr. Neal Maru, a neurologist and sleep
specialist with Integrated Sleep Services in Alexandria, Virginia, says: “Poor
sleep can affect our immune system, our cardiovascular health, weight, and, of
course, memories.” Indeed, insomnia is an immune system wrecker. Therefore, it
is important to have natural sleep to protect your immune system to alleviate,
if not to cure, your myasthenia gravis disease symptoms.
Given that sleep is a natural process, it is against
nature to artificially induce sleep with medications. Do not use sleep medicine
to overcome insomnia. The reason is that all pharmaceutical drugs are loaded
with toxic chemicals that further damage your compromised immune system.
Take
Control of Your Health and Escape the Sickness Industry: is an
informative and inspirational book by Elaine Hollingsworth, the
movie-star-turned-heath-crusader, who explains in detail how understanding
dangerous drugs, unreliable medical tests, and often-times unnecessary
procedures may help you escape the sickness industry through healthy sleep and
natural health. Do not fall into the trap of the sickness industry by taking
more dangerous drugs, such as sleep medications, which not only are dangerous
but also create the drug-dependence.
All in all, relaxation holds the key to relaxing your body
muscles.
